Tzatzic (MH581v)
Compound Glyph

Glyph or Iconographic Image Description: 

This black-line drawing of the simplex glyph for the personal name Tzatzic (“He Shouted” or "He Announced," attested here as an elderly man’s name) shows a profile view of two speech scrolls emerging from the tribute payer's face. While both are horizontal and go in the direction of the viewer's right, one curls up and one curls down.

Added Analysis: 

The gloss ("Tzatzic") clarifies that this man is shouting and not just talking. Scrolls such as these can stand for speech, song, and more.
